  1. 1. TOXICITY DRIVERS IN CHEMICAL MIXTURES FROM THE SWEDISH WEST COAST – EFFECTS ON PELAGIC COMMUNITIES

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Författare :Helena Hartmann; [2023-06-26]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Human society benefits from a range of ecosystem services provided by the oceans, such as oxygen production, carbon storage, and fishing. However, these services are relying on the ecosystem’s functional and structural integrity, which are correlated to its biodiversity. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Ecological risk assessment of pesticide use in rice farming in the Mekong Delta , Vietnam

    Magister-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Författare :Bubaraye Ohiosimuan Dirikumo; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Pesticides; Ecological Risk Assessment ERA ; rice farming; Mekong Delta; PRIMET Model; Exposure Toxicity Ratio ETR ; species sensitivity distribution SSD ; predicted environmental concentrations PECs ;

    Sammanfattning : Pesticide use in rice farming is a common practice in the Mekong Delta and poses ecological risks to aquatic organisms, the environment, and human health. This study focused on the ecological risk assessment of pesticide use in rice farming using the PRIMET model as a decision support tool to evaluate the risks of pesticide exposure, ecotoxicity, and risk characterization, as well as employing the species sensitivity distribution (SSD) assessment model to calculate the potentially affected fraction (PAF) of species based on the computed predicted environmental concentrations (PECs) from PRIMET.

  4. 3. Wound Treatment : An overview and initial investigation of wound care and bioactive materials

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på grundnivå, Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad materialvetenskap

    Författare :Louise Ringholm; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Wound treatment; wound care; bioactive materials; calcium silicate;

    Sammanfattning : Wound care is a field with many treatment methods and products on the market. The healing period varies, some wounds become difficult to heal and chronic, in many cases a connection can be drawn to underlying diseases. Diabetes is a disease that could cause foot ulcers that are difficult to heal. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The impact of human relevant mixture of contaminants on the development of human adipocytes

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på grundnivå, KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Författare :Annika Jansson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The objective of this project was to investigate how organic anthropogenic chemicals (OCs) effect the differentiation of adipocytes in the human body. The objective is also to contribute to novel research in how groups of chemicals in our surrounding affect us. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Temporal trends of 4-Hydroxychlorothalonil in maternal serum samples, 1997-2015

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning; Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Författare :Elin Wällstedt; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Biomonitoring; human exposure effects; environmental exposure; fungicide; pregnancy; pregnant women; chlorothalonil; CHT; 4-hydroxy-chlorothalonil; 4-OH-CHT; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Agricultural fungicides are extensively used for infestation control, resulting in residues of these compounds in food. Human exposure to environmental contaminants might occur via different routes, such as inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion. Exposure to several pesticides has been associated with adverse human health outcomes. LÄS MER
